The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

HARASSMENT: On April 11, Deputy John Perry was dispatched to a home in Nicholson where a 23-year-old woman said her roommate had moved out, but was planning to come back and get her belongings. The woman advised she wanted a deputy there and the officer said she could call for a road deputy to stand by to keep the peace, but if this was going to be a prolonged process she would need to contact the civil division of the sheriff’s office for help.

DISPUTE: On April 12, Deputy Brian Perrin was dispatched to a dispute on Hayes Road, where a woman was reported to be at a house throwing stuff around while her parents were out of town. Deputies arrived and the woman said she had been in contact with her parents and nothing was said to her about not going onto the property. She said she went to the house because she had been staying with her boyfriend in Jefferson, but now he is in jail. The deputy spoke to two people who were caretakers of the property while the owner was away, but there was a discrepancy on whether the daughter was allowed at the house. The woman finally said she would leave as she knew her parents would not want her staying there.

DISPUTE: On April 12, Deputy Brian Perrin was dispatched to a home near Jefferson to check on a 911 hang up call. The deputy located a man, who had been drinking, and he complained that the people who live next to him had been trying to railroad him. The deputy spoke to the residents who said the man is fine until he starts drinking and then he becomes argumentative. The deputy advised the man to get in his home.

DISPUTE: On April 13, Deputy Thomas Duncan was dispatched to Braselton, where a 34-year-old woman reported a problem with her boyfriend, who owns a restaurant in Hall County. The woman, who works there as a hostess, said her boyfriend spent the previous night with her and this morning they got into his 2002 Saturn car to drive to work at the restaurant. As they drove, they started discussing the work staff and she complained that he smokes in the restaurant and blows smoke in her direction. She also inquired into whether he visited strip clubs in Atlanta with the guys while she was away. This caused the boyfriend to begin cursing, then he started driving fast, which caused the woman to have diarrhea. Later the woman drove the Saturn home and the boyfriend sent her a text saying he was going to report the car stolen. The deputy checked with Hall County and no such theft report had been made.

STRANGE NOTE: On April 12, Deputy Tommy Haynes was dispatched to a home in Maysville, where a woman found a handwritten note attached to her door, which she thinks was meant for her husband and his cousin. The note referenced something about them sharing lottery winnings and stocks. The woman said she thinks it is related to a drug deal.

WARRANT SERVED: On April 11, Deputy Rodger Boswell was dispatched to a home on Davenport Road in Braseleton for a dispute. The officer saw three people sitting on the front porch and they said the two people involved in the dispute had left. Cpl. Matt Day arrived with information that a woman identified as Emily Marie Huff, 25, of Commerce, was believed involved in the dispute. Huff was wanted on warrants from Banks County.The officers were directed to a building behind the house, where they saw Daniel J. Grier, who told the deputies he had not seen Huff. When the homeowner arrived, he allowed the officers inside the building where they saw two women and a man laying on a mattress as if they were asleep. One woman identified herself as Emily Ray, but Day identified her as Emily Huff. Huff was arrested on the warrants and also charged with giving a false name. Grier, 20, of Braselton, was charged with obstruction because he knew Huff was in the building. On the way to jail, Grier apologized for lying to the officer.

TWO CHARGED: On April 5, deputies responded to a suspicious person report after a resident of Jefferson reported seeing two men near a neighbor’s outdoor building. When a deputy was approaching the house, the two men ran into the nearby woods. The deputy found that items had been removed from the shed and placed behind the shed. Later in the day, deputies caught one of the suspects, Christopher Bryan McIntyre, 34, of Monroe, as he walked along a roadway. The other suspect, Billy Michael Headley, 50, of Athens, was arrested a couple of days later. Police caught him hiding in the attic of his Athens home. Both men were charged with burglary and obstruction.

TEEN ARRESTED: On April 8, deputies were dispatched to Jefferson Road in Commerce, where a woman reported someone stole a vehicle from the residence. Later that day, deputies made a traffic stop on another car and the two people inside jumped out and ran, but deputies were able to apprehend them. Christian Troy Dean, 17, of Colbert, was charged with attempting to elude, speeding and theft by receiving stolen property. The other teen was a juvenile and he was charged and released to a parent. On April 9, the sheriff’s office learned that the vehicle stolen in Jefferson was involved in a traffic stop in Oconee County and driven by a woman who said that Dean had loaned her the car. Deputies investigated and charged Dean with theft of a motor vehicle.
